Yaya was pretty much as I expected her to be, but since I've seen some videos and interviews of her I knew what to expect.

Riddle is cool, I had never seen her personality before and she seems sweet.

The two friends are a bit nerve racking though. I don't think I could be in a room with either of them for an extended period of time before I slapped the shit out of them (not really, but you get my point).

All the others are pretty underwhelming. Hopefully they will spotlight some more cosplayers in coming episodes.

I didn't care for the way Jessica Nigri was shunned either, and Yaya was being a bit of a hypocrite in that regard.

Yeah, I can get that for some it started out as they said, just for fun and the creative part. But really, they lost the claim when they went off like that.

What would really impress me with them, any of them, if they really are fans of some of these characters, then lets see them cosplay each costume variant. Show the fandom not the tits, ass, legs and camel toes... wait, show those but the fandom as well.

I appreciate the accurate fan stuff and the creative stuff, but when they get all ego and attitude... having to win contests and be a "business"... got none really.

I don't knock Yaya or others for making a buck, a real buck, while they can, but then in a sense, they are making money off copywritten designs with those costumes. Wonder when the lawsuit will hit one day for that?
